Description

At the moment this issue is written, the only way of authentication for this provider is using personal access token. Sadly, it was the only way of authentication on ADO, so I can understand that. However, ADO recently announced Service Principal and Managed Identity support. I believe this will help lot of teams/individual here, if we have such a way to authenticate

Announcement

New or Affected Resource(s)

provider "azuredevops"

Potential Terraform Configuration

Something like following configuration would be great to have.

provider "azuredevops" {
  org_service_url       = var.azdevops_org_service_url
  service_principal_id = var.azdevops_service_principal_id
}

is this stuck @xuzhang3 at the moment or can you tweak @davidcorrigan714 code to help get it through. This would be a killer feature

@gabrielmccoll I do not have the push permission to @davidcorrigan714's PR and he/she going to be a little while before he/she have time to do any updates. One way is merge/cherry pick the changes into my branch.
